An extensive study of oral business communication techniques, including use of visual aids. Students make oral presentations individually and in groups relating to a variety of business problems (e.g., analysis of quarterly, annual, and other financial reports; results of feasibility studies or of surveys; conducting directive and non-directive interviews; dictating skills etc.).

This course will serve as a forum for students to learn oral business communication techniques, including the use of visual aids. Students will present oral presentations using visual aids, technology and props as appropriate. Presentations will be singly and in teams, with a strong emphasis on international issues such as cultural diversity, communication between different countries and languages, and understanding ethics and credibility. Students will also delve into the interviewing process, from the perspective of both employer and job applicant.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
